Chapter Twenty-Five: When I first entered the barracks, there was a clear distinction between the high and the low
Yao Xiaochuan saw that the two pairs of thickened black cloth shoes were excellent, and asked the vendor how much silver a pair was, some bargaining, soft grinding and hard foam, the vendor took a few pieces of broken silver with a black face, Yao Xiaochuan happily wore new shoes, turned his face to Shi Xiaoyi and said: "You see how generous I am, I know that you are going to soar, so I specially bought new shoes for you, give, try to see if they fit." ”
Shi Xiaoyi looked down at the pair of torn cloth shoes with holes in the front and back on his feet, and said, "If you don't mention it, I really haven't noticed this, then try the new shoes that the God of Wealth bought is uncomfortable." ”
Sure enough, Yao Xiaozhou smiled: "Our new shoes are the same, and when we have silver, we will buy leather boots." ”
When the vendor heard this, he said, "Buy leather boots?" You can buy thirty pairs of shoes like mine with all the money, and you are willing to spend money?"
Shi Xiaoyi leaned back with a smile and said: "He is naturally reluctant, then it is better to peel a layer of skin on him, boots made of human skin are estimated to be more enjoyable to wear, and it doesn't cost a penny of silver!"
Yao Xiaozhou immediately retorted, and when the two brothers were making trouble, a young man with a sad face came and asked the vendor, "Boss, do you have leather boots for sale?"
The vendor looked at him and said with a smile: "Why are the guest officers going to buy leather boots today, is there any great event?"
The young man reached out and grabbed the black mole on his chin, frowned, and said, "Do you have it, happy or bad things are your business?"
"Guest officer, why are you like this, the small one is just casually mentioned, the temple is too small to afford your big Buddha, the guest officer should go elsewhere." The vendor was upset and opened his mouth to refuse.
When the black mole boy turned around, he glanced at Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaozhou, and was suddenly stunned, and said with a smile: "I remember that you two also won this selection, right?"
Shi Xiaoyi smiled slightly: "Yes, I should go to the barracks to report today, I don't know if you are?"
"Hehe, what a coincidence, my name is Ling Huwu, and I also went to the barracks to report today, and now I want to buy a pair of leather boots to wear. Then he looked at Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaozhou, and said, "I think you two are also here to buy shoes and clothes, it's always important to get off to a good start." ”
Shi Xiaoyi replied: "Yes, my brother and I also took a look on the street, hoping to get off to a good start." ”
Yao Xiaozhou looked at this young man named Ling Huwu for a long time, Ling Huwu wore a small emerald green crown, a thin purple coat of satin, a piece of gold and a green jade belt around his waist, and a pair of brocade pants with mosaic fur, although it can be seen that they are not made of extremely high-quality materials, but this outfit alone costs seventy taels of silver, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, and read softly: "You really have silver, leather boots are so expensive, buy a pair of at least fifteen taels of silver, this kind of stall generally can't afford to sell." ”
Ling Huwu smiled a little bitterly, and said: "Don't laugh at me, the clan only gave me a hundred taels, isn't there much left, I can only go to the stall to see if I can buy cheap leather boots, after all, I will also have a head and face in the future, but I can't be too cold." ”
When Shi Xiaoyi heard this, look at Yao Xiaochuan and himself, the clothes, pants and shoes on the two brothers are estimated to cost five taels of silver, can this still be described as cold? Ling Huwu also seemed to find out their embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to spend so much money, anyway, in the future training in the military camp, you have to wear armor and military uniforms, which of these good-looking clothes are useful? And my father said, you have to train hard like a soldier for at least two months, and when the time comes, you will roll in the mire, and you will all be like a turtle." ”
Shi Xiaoyi smiled and asked: "You know so well about the things in the barracks, haven't you stepped on it a long time ago?"
Ling Huwu did not shy away from it, and laughed in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the two, my father is a fourth-level officer in Tiansui City, I have been in the barracks since I was a child, and I know a little bit." If it is convenient for the two brothers, we will go to the army together to report later, and we can talk about the experience of this selection along the way. ”
Shi Xiaoyi glanced at Yao Xiaozhou, secretly thinking that he was not familiar with Xiaochuan people, the person named Ling Huwu in front of him was obviously not a child of an ordinary family, since he was familiar with the affairs of the Tiansui City military camp, it was better to follow him, so he could take the opportunity to inquire about something, so he smiled and respectfully obeyed his orders, and the three teenagers walked to the military camp together.
Tiansui City, divided into east and west urban areas by the Yuxi River, the Tiansui military camp is located on the edge of the Yuxi River, the north and south are opposite, called the Southern Heavenly Army, the Northern Heavenly Army, of which the Southern Heavenly Army is controlled by the city lord, and the Northern Heavenly Army is controlled by the general.
Entering the barracks, you can see soldiers in armor everywhere, patrolling with guns, or standing guard, this Linghu Wu is carrying a waist card, from the barracks gate to the central area several times to check, all of them passed without hindrance after he took out this waist card.
Shi Xiaoyi and Ling Huwu were already familiar with each other, and said with a smile: "Your father is really a big official, he gave you this gold medal for avoiding death, where can't I go?"
Ling Huwu pouted and said: "My father is just a fourth-level officer, how can he have the majesty you think, this waist card was given to me by the third uncle, and I should also wish me a victory in the selection, he is a second-level general of Tiansui City, that is second only to the existence of the city lord and the general, and there are only ten people in the entire Tiansui City, but unfortunately he is not my father." ”
Shi Xiaoyi frowned slightly, thinking that it would be difficult for whoever is the official to recognize him as his father, which is also too snobbish, and said with a smile: "Your third uncle is really powerful, a second-level general, I don't know what level of senior official came to train us this time." ”
"Actually, I'll tell you secretly, it's just for the sake of my brothers, among the ten people selected this time, there are two people you must not mess with, that is, the two precious sons of the general, I heard that they spent a thousand taels of silver just to dress up this time, not to mention the big feast for three days and three nights. Ling Huwu said indignantly in a low voice.
"What! 1,000 taels of white silver!" Yao Xiaozhou shouted in shock, and his expression was stunned for a moment.
Yao Xiaozhou's shout immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially a team of patrol soldiers came over to take a closer look, Ling Hu Wu stubbornly explained everything, and finally coaxed the patrol away, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and heard someone ridicule: "Who did I say, dare to make a loud noise in the barracks, isn't that General Linghu's little golden pimple?"
The girl's hair is waist-length and beautiful. If a man's hair reaches waist-length, it's demonic.
But the two brothers who came in front of them, both with slightly golden shawl hair, are not only beautiful, but also more demonic, but with an intoxicating handsomeness, Wang Sun Gongzi, from dress to appearance, it is definitely one in a million heroic and vigorous.
The one who spoke was a young man with eyebrows like a short sword and a cold and arrogant face, and he was also a sword eyebrow, but his eyebrows were different from Shi Xiaoyi, Shi Xiaoyi's sword eyebrows were like a towering long sword, majestic and majestic, and this young man's eyebrows were a small knife that cut off the heart, short and fierce. The servant who served behind him echoed and smiled: "Son, the little golden pimple is also what everyone says to save face, who doesn't know, General Linghu was drunk and slept with an old and ugly old slave for a while, and then he accidentally gave birth to a rebel, where is it like Gongzi, you are the real general!"
With a loud "snap", the sword-eyed boy waved his hand and slapped the servant who spoke, and sneered: "Linghu Gongzi is going to cultivate into the Immortal Temple with me in the future, how can you talk nonsense!"
When Ling Huwu heard this, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he stepped forward to bow and salute, and smiled awkwardly: "It turned out to be Brother Chao and Brother Ting, why did you come to report it in person, just send a slave over." ”
The sword eyebrow boy saw Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaochuan standing motionless, and asked with disdain: "Who are they?" Ling Huwu, you are getting more and more valuable, walking with this kind of slave. ”
Another long-haired man said lightly: "Brother, have you forgotten? Isn't he the one who kicked my cousin down at the last moment on the day of the selection?"
"What? They even dared to report that my cousin's enmity was a thunderous rage. The sword eyebrow boy also shouted angrily, and was about to rush over to take revenge, Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaochuan naturally saw the difference, Yao Xiaochuan was busy hiding behind Shi Xiaoyi, and Shi Xiaoyi's face was cold, and he seemed to be about to fight.
Ling Hu Wu was horrified, and hurriedly smiled and dissuaded: "If Brother Chao doesn't like them, there will be more opportunities in the military camp in the future to teach them a good lesson, and when they enter the military camp, will they still have the right to talk?"
Jianmei Gongzi pushed away Ling Huwu and shouted: "Today I will abolish the two of them, two untouchables, dare to occupy two places to go to Xuanzhen!"
But he didn't want to, another long-haired boy stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and said lightly: "Brother, don't be impulsive, Ling Huwu is right, there are many opportunities to teach them a lesson in the future, only report today, don't cause trouble, when my father leaves, I can say that the overall situation is important." ”
Hearing the words "Father", the sword-eyed boy subconsciously trembled, and quickly retracted his steps when he stepped out, as if he was extremely frightened, so he had to snort coldly: "Count them lucky today, and I will slowly find them to calculate my cousin's affairs later." ”
Dozens of soldiers walked here, and the leader was dressed in non-commissioned officer clothes, and when he saw the two long-haired young men, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his originally stern face, and he smiled and said, "Yo, the two sons came to report in person, and it was really hard to go all the way." ”
Who knew that Wang Chao scolded angrily: "You work hard, you don't come to report, do you go to your mother's bed!"
The non-commissioned officer seemed to have swallowed an egg alive, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out, his face was flushed, so he had to say: "Why did the prince of the dynasty give birth to such an atmosphere, which one of them did not anger you, and the subordinate should teach him a good lesson." ”
Another long-haired boy smiled and said, "My lord, it's nothing, my brother is joking with you, don't mind, we are here to report on the training today, and in the future, we will be in the barracks thanks to you for taking care of you." ”
When the non-commissioned officer heard this, an egg swallowed into his stomach, his face was good, and he laughed and said: "The prince of the royal court is really polite, the lower official has infinite respect for the general, and if there is something in this military camp in the future, just come to the lower official, and guarantee that the two sons will be satisfied." ”
Wang Chao sneered: "Okay, then you take more care of those two brothers in the future, and I will be satisfied." Seeing this, the non-commissioned officer didn't understand what he meant, so he immediately straightened his posture and walked towards the two.
The non-commissioned officer stared at Shi Xiaoyi and shouted, "What are you looking at, I don't know that the army has to salute when you see the commander?"
Yao Xiaozhou was frightened, and quickly knelt down and bowed: "Grass people, grass people Yao Xiaozhou to meet the official, to meet the official." ”
Shi Xiaoyi frowned, stretched out his hand to lift Yao Xiaozhou, and shouted proudly: "We are here to report, and we don't know who he is, why bother to bow down? Even if it is a non-commissioned officer who trains us, he may not be as arrogant as he is and looks down on people." ”
"What, you little bastard, you dare to be so rude to this officer, if you don't teach you a lesson today, do you still think that the barracks are opened by your family?" The non-commissioned officer shouted and was about to swing his fist at Shi Xiaoyi, Shi Xiaoyi protected Yao Xiaozhou, raised his left arm slightly, and did a good job of blocking it.
At this moment, a loud shout came from afar: "Tiansui City selects Xuanzhen disciples, report here, and those who have arrived hurry up to gather!"
The non-commissioned officer stared at Shi Xiaoyi and Yao Xiaozhou viciously, and when he raised his eyes and shouted, a copper-ringed big golden knife flashed in the sun, and the non-commissioned officer couldn't help but tremble, as if he was extremely scared, so he had to shout at everyone: "Do you hear, that's the chief examiner in charge of your training, General Yan Qi, now hurry over to see him!"
"Yes!" everyone said and ran there, Yao Xiaozhou followed behind Shi Xiaoyi, sweating profusely and breathing a deep sigh of relief.
